Lambeau Field continues to be the crown jewel of the NFL. Home of the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field combines a rich history with a terrific, unique fan experience. It is so special the NFL has decided to bring the draft to Titletown, despite its smaller size meaning less total money than recent drafts.
While Lambeau Field still resembles the same stadium that Vince Lombardi once walked on, there have been many much-needed renovations throughout the years. Recently, futuristic pictures of potential Lambeau Field designs have gone viral amongst Packer Nation. Below, we will take a look at these cool designs. But first, let’s go over the Lambeau Field history of renovations and updates.
